Sass Panther Security Incident Report: It has been 0 Days since clumsy human spilled something on The Cat (a bit of red rice and enchilada).

I AM THE GREATEST ARTIFICER IN THE REALM! Narrator: Sigh. She unclogged one of those annoying pop top style drains and reassembled it. Don't get too excited.

Not being able to afford veterinary care for your beloved cat is a terrible, helpless feeling. Charlie has been going through too much for too long. Let's help them—and Loki (and Loki's bonded companion!)—get through this.

Our favorite sighting of the day on a foggy afternoon at the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge. We were on the Waterfowl route and came across the first Short-eared Owl we've ever seen in CA #birdwatching

Bromelain in pineapple to the insides of my mouth: I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL! My mouth: TELL THEM WHO SENT YOU!

Me: Sweetiebug, this morning's Incident Report is heavily redacted. Ash: Sass Panther Security's internal operations are confidential! Me: Wait a minute...is this the 15 minutes I spent chasing you around to remove a cling-on that you kept trying scootch off on the rugs? Ash: ...

Ash when I dress properly for the weather with a coat, boots, and Outside Pants: "Ew mom, no! The Outside sucks! Why insult me so?" Ash when I open the door just to show him how ass it is Outside, wearing sandals, baggy bum thin leggings, ripped sweatshirt:

Sass Panther Security Incident Report: It has been 0 Days since clumsy human spilled something on The Cat (a grain of cooked rice from my Korean sweet and spicy chicken desk lunch)

Stress Break, Sass Panther Security Reports:

Sass Panther Security Incident Report: It has was been 4 Days since clumsy human spilled something on The Cat, but there were two Near Misses today (green tea and salsa).

Sass Panther Security Incident Report: It has been 0 Days since clumsy human spilled something on The Cat (coffee, with an immediate scrub down)

Sass Panther Security Note: 2 Days since clumsy human has spilled something on The Cat.

I present my submission for World's Worst Hooman: while rinsing my masking fluid brush (good ol' latex) I Me'd all over the place and dumped the rinse water on Ash, prompting a frantic dash to the shower to wash a rather annoyed cat. Churu was offered and accepted, but I'm sure I'll pay later.

Natural talent is nothing compared to the ability to keep making shit long after everyone else has given up

So as someone who's a professional creator, and has always been a creator of art in many mediums ... I've encountered a lot of people in life A LOT OF PEOPLE who want to do art, who think they have good ideas for art, but don't want to do the work Now...

A bit late for the reveal for #NameThatTrack (dog walking job came in) but our hoppy little friend is either a Deer Mouse or a Meadow Vole! Based on the length of the adorbs tail drags indicated by the arrows, I think we're dealing with a mouse!

While I catch up after [waves arms at everything], here's the 1st #NameThatTrack of 2026, the Premier (according to Ash) #ichnology game! I post a pic, you use your tracking skills to answer Qs! Found next to our compost bin in south BC, arrows pointing to an adorable clue! Answer tomorrow at 12pm!

With risk of stomping right into TMI territory, my GI system currently feels like someone threw a pair of steel toes into the washing machine with dish detergent and cranked it up to extra spin.

Checking the borbometer to see how cold it is before going outside😂 #birds #brrrrrds #borbs

Because of *waves hands around because of Things & Stuff that happened over the holidays, I'm JUST watching Die Hard tonight.

I've been up since 3:45am, so this is my NYE energy.

I ask this with all of the calmness and composure in the world: WHY THE F IS THERE A LIVE ASS MOSQUITO IN MY OFFICE RIGHT NOW. (Note: I know all of the possible reasons, I don't need skeeter-splaining, I'm just being incredulous for a moment.)

Shee-it: my coffee was finished too soon, and there will be dire consequences if I have a second cup just to experience it.

One thing I love about winter birding is how that pop of red on a Red-bellied Woodpecker hits different against the snow. ❤️ Before I started birding, winter brought the blues. Now I get outside all year, and the birds give me the Bird Joy I need to make it to spring. #WiscoBirder 📷👐🏾🫶🏾

I'm now 90% cinnamon bun.

Friends, against my better judgement, I'm watching "Gobblefoot" on Tubi. There may be posts. Depends if I can follow the *ahem* plot.

I like @vixen.science's idea" "...the FAA should be in charge of “ATC Tracks Santa”. He’s a civilian aircraft w/clearance into controlled airspace. It’d be great publicity...for showing voting public how air traffic control actually works, using a training target that everyone can relate to"

Once again NORAD Tracks Santa is nationalist & militaristic (nuclear weapons inter-twined) propaganda, was overtly established as such in the Cold War, and continues as such now. Have NOAA or NASA or whomever track Santa if we’re gonna do it.

I may have ground a bonkers amount of cinnamon last night for making cinnamon buns today.

The irony is lost on Ash.

Amplifying this for any and all of my Fey followers interested in pacts for 2026.

Once again throwing out to the Universe that I would greatly appreciate being contacted by an anonymous eccentric bonkers wealthy benefactor who wishes to set me up for one year in a remote manor on the misty moors to create art, even if the ulterior motive is to sacrifice me to the vengeful spirits

My repair of the heating coil for the food dehydrator works!

I have a whisker holder! I HAVE A WHISKER HOLDER!! IYKYK

I'm so excited...I finally bought makeup masking tape!!!

Trying to tell Mr Man that this is as mild as we can get in December and he should take advantage of outside time, but his peets are wet and he won't hear my reasoning.

Absolutely! There's a whole bunch of issues related to diabetic and elder foot care!

You can absolutely get ganglion cysts in your feet! They'll pop up on toe and other for joints. They're not the same as bunions, as cysts are typically filled with joint fluid, while bunions are a bony issue. But they're annoying bc they will increase/decrease in size.

I had a joke about the Alaudidae, but it's really just a lark.

Ahem

Okay! Seems like there's some interest in healthy peets! I'll add to this thread as things pop up at work and I go "Oh yeah! That's generally useful!" Let's begin! 👣

I know I typically do humorous (to me, anyway) podiatry typos, but would there be any interest in a thread of general good foot care advice?

Podiatry Typo of the Day: Patient is dong well postoperatively.
